Farrago Zoo Awards: Nominated for Best UK Poet Performance!

Here’s a very wonderful surprise: I’ve been nominated for the Best Performance by a UK Poet in the 2010 Farrago Zoo Awards. I’m tremendously flattered, and only sad that this time I’m not going to be able to make it down for the night. I was at last year’s Zoo Awards ceremony and saw some of the best UK performance poets; I reckon tomorrow night is going to be fantastic. The details of the night are below, and I’d also be very grateful, naturally, if you’d think about voting for me — if you think my performances have been worthy, of course!

The Farrago Zoo Awards for performances at events during 2010.

Listed below are the nominees for the Farrago Zoo Awards for performances in 2010, which was, thanks to your support, another brilliant year for us. We’ve continued to draw big audiences to the shows through the year and had some superb readings and performances by new and established poets and performers, making the selection process especially difficult in each of the eight categories.

The Farrago Zoo Awards are the UK’s longest running performance poetry awards, voted for by the supporters and audience of Farrago Poetry. Please choose your favourite performer in each category and email farragopoetry@yahoo.co.uk with ZOO in the subject line. The deadline for getting your vote in is noon on 6th January, the same day the winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony at the Farrago New Year SLAM!
